In fact, even the first and second are maimed and mangled, and, of course, the Bible quotations changed from the Vulgate to King James I. The English editor does not disguise the fact that he has Protestantized the work (vol. i., pp. xii., xiii.), inasmuch as the author had mingled in his remarks sentiments which Protestants in general justly reject, etc. Charles Taylor, an engraver, of London, b. 1756, d. 1821 or '23 (v.

The illustrious Abbot of Senones is a grand ornament of both the Church and of his order. His life was divided between prayer and study. Profoundly humble, he seemed unaware of the honors bestowed upon his works by all nations and all denominations. He indited his own epitaph:

"Brother Augustin Calmet; Frenchman by birth; Roman Catholic in religion; by profession a monk, in name an abbot. He read much, wrote, prayed. God grant it was all well done !”]

[Dobbin & Murphy appear very often among the early publishers of Catholic works in Baltimore. Judge Dobbin, a son of the printer, has kindly furnished the following:

“BALTIMORE, Dec. 30, 1871.

“Dear Sir: I greatly regret that I can give you so meagre an account of the publishing firm of 'G. Dobbin & Murphy,' which existed in Baltimore from about the year 1804 or 1805 (it may be a year earlier) till 1811 or 1812. The members of the firm wereGeorge Dobbin, born in County Armagh, Ireland, and Thomas Murphy, born in the City of Cork, Ireland. Mr. Dobbin fled from Ireland in the troubles of 1798, in the exciting transactions of which he took an active part as a United Irishman.

"Mr. Murphy came to this country in his boyhood. Both gentlemen were Presbyterians, . . . in which communion Mr.. Dobbin died. In the latter part of his life, Mr. Murphy belonged to the Protestant Episcopal Church.

"I am, very truly, yours,

"GEORGE W. DOBBIN."

My excellent friend, J. Murphy, Esq., of Baltimore, to whom I am indebted for the above, and many other favors, adds:

"I knew Mr. Murphy very well; he was a remarkably clever and truly good man. Very few men in Baltimore commanded more respect, and few, if any, were most justly entitled to it,

than Thomas Murphy. He died a bachelor about ten years ago."-Baltimore, Nov. 28, 1871.

I. Thomas, in his History of Printing in the United States, makes no mention of Dobbin & Murphy.]

[So many new titles of Carey's publications are daily added to my manuscript that I have determined to devote a whole chapter to his name in the Appendix, else the printer will not get this copy for several months to come.]

Of him says the celebrated Andres: Era certamente l'erudito, che unisse più universalità con maggiore profondità di quanti viventi in Italia, e pochi eguali n'avrà avuto anche fuori d'Italia." The above title is actually of a Paris edition, translated from the Italian by Lefabure de Villebrune. The work is intended as a confutation of Pau, and the writer finds

traces of Catholicity in the religion of the old Peruvians and Mexicans; v. supra, Earliest Records of Catholic Authors in America.]

I thought, operæ pretium, to give here a list of works connected with this lamentable affair. The list will also form a link of reference to obtain the historical information of the case.]
